I like the idea of a single iplable volume without any of the
non-operations minidisks and then spreading out the non-operational
minidisks across more non-filled compressed Hercules volumes.
Disk 1: Iplable: MAINT(190,191,19E), OPERATOR, AUTOLOG1, CPWATCH,
Some Temp, Tdisk
Disk 2: Rest of MAINT's minidisk
Disk 3: RSCS, RSCS1, CMSBATCH, Other SVMs, CMSUSER
ALGOL, BREXX, COBOL, DOSVS, OSBASIC, PLI, PL360,
RPG, SCRIPT, TAPEMAC, WATFIV
Disk 4: GCCCMS
Disk 5: ALGOL, BREXX, COBOL, DOSVS, OSBASIC, PLI, PL360,
RPG, SCRIPT, TAPEMAC, WATFIV
Disk 6: REGINA
Disk 7: Temp
Disk 8: Tdisk
Disk 9: etc
I also like putting the Waterloo Mods onto a separate volume.
